Tuesday 3rd October – Service With Respect Day which aims to create a safe working environment for all customer-facing workers.
Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect when at work.
Wednesday 4th October – Customer Service as a Profession – See what Louise our Customer Insight Partner, has to say about how working in customer services helped her career development.
“Hello, I’m Louise and I’ve been working for South Lakes Housing (SLH) since 2018. When I joined, I started as a Customer Services Advisor and in this role, I was a first point of contact for customers to help solve any queries or problems they had. I’m naturally an empathetic and caring person and this role helped me to develop my people skills even more which resulted in improved communication with customers. The Customer Service Advisor role was a fantastic platform that helped me to progress with my career into housing and provided me with the tools I needed to take that next step.”
Thursday 5th October – Driving Sustainable Growth – Check out our new Sustainability page to update you on what we are doing at South Lakes Housing to tackle Climate Change.
We’ll be adding to the webpage over the coming weeks and months to create a Sustainability Hub that reflects our Sustainability and Environmental Goals and provides helpful and practical information that can be used at work and home to shape our communities’ environmental future.
Friday 6th October – Customer Service Recognition Day – we’re celebrating our Customer Service heroes with positive feedback from our customers.
